British MP condemns Israeli cuts to Gaza power and aid as 'collective punishment'

Apsana Begum has warned that Israel's move to cut power and aid to Gaza is tantamount to collective punishment.

"Palestinians in Gaza are already without adequate levels of aid as Israel threatens to withdraw electricity & water, once again." the MP said in a post on X.

"Let me be clear: this amounts to collective punishment," she said, calling on the UK government to condemn "these threats and actions from its staunch and close ally".
